Good thing about this Zombie Apocalypse forming is that, as we saw in Miami you can shoot those Zombie's dead. After all this is real life not the movies. Fill that Zombie full of holes before he starts to dine on you.

On the other hand jfiling...what the fuck are you complaining about? That some asshole "police union rep" was covering up when the police recklessly and needlessly shot an unarmed man who's only "crime" was eating another man's face? As if we haven't all been there.

Fer fuck sake, was there a better explanation at the time?

Sometimes the police do bad things. Sometimes cops are assholes. Not EVERY time, though. Get a grip dude.

I don't know the context of the whole bath salt thing or how that got out there in the first place. It doesn't seem like a terribly unreasonable guess to make, though. Nor would it have been unreasonable to guess a joint laced with formaldehyde, or something like that. Yeah, I guess it shouldn't have been presented as a rock solid fact (and I'm not sure that it was presented that way, or if the media just reported it that way), but I can't see how it's a huge deal.

Sure, it probably would have been more prudent for whoever just to say "we don't know why he did it until we get the tox report". What I kind of find ridiculous is jfiling's insinuation that it was some kind of police conspiracy/coverup to protect the who's-it whatever-the-fuck that he thinks the police are conspiratorialing about.

Yes, there was. Asshole union rep pimping the "bath salts" story was doing nothing but fanning the flames of a non-existent fire. I don't care about anything the cops did in this case, just that it was some douchebag union asshole creating a story where none existed.

Really? No explanation at all would have been better than someone with no knowledge of the situation spouting off on something he knew nothing about that got picked up by the media and fanned into a national panic.

A better explanation than none would have been this: "This guy is batshit crazy. We don't know the cause, but we're not going to speculate until we have a goddamn clue."

OK, you win. You're right. It's impossible to see how some police guy, faced with a situation that virtually nobody has ever had to deal with, made a bad call and guessed wrong about something. Flame on dude.

Fuckin' police are all a bunch of power abusing assholes and this is another example.

Nope. You're judging me by my rep, instead of what I'm actually typing. It wasn't even a real cop who spouted out the "bath salts" bullshit, just in case you've forgotten, but a union representative. I doubt, but can't confirm, that actual officers would refer to a union rep as "some police guy".

I had Xanax for my anxiety because I can control it 99% of the time. Valium was good for busting me out of seizures when I was younger. Next time at the doc I will have to ask about that Klonopin. I also just hate the dentist cuz I had tons of shit done when I was younger and it sucked.
